July 8, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

FMCSA announces its decision to grant an exemption to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (Virginia), on behalf of truck and bus drivers who are licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia and need a Skill Performance Evaluation (SPE) certificate from FMCSA to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce. The exemption will enable Virginia-licensed drivers subject to the Federal SPE requirements under 49 CFR 391.49, to fulfill the Federal requirements with a State-issued SPE. The State-issued SPE will be based on standards, processes and procedures comparable to those used by FMCSA, and the State will maintain copies of all evaluation forms and certificates issued to enable FMCSA to conduct periodic reviews of the State's program. Virginia licensed drivers who receive the State- issued SPE are allowed to operate CMVs in interstate commerce, anywhere in the United States.

FMCSA announces its decision to exempt 26 individuals from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). They are unable to meet the vision requirement in one eye for various reasons. The exemptions will enable these individuals to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce without meeting the prescribed vision requirement in one eye. The Agency has concluded that granting these exemptions will provide a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level of safety maintained without the exemptions for these CMV drivers.

FMCSA announces its decision to renew the exemptions from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for 12 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals from the vision requirement if the exemptions granted will not compromise safety. The Agency has concluded that granting these exemption renewals will provide a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level of safety maintained without the exemptions for these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an order to revise the Davis-Besse National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805 License Amendment Request submittal date of July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015.

FMCSA announces information concerning the Pre-Authorization Safety Audit (PASA) for Trans-Mex Inc., SA de CV (USDOT 710381) which applied to participate in the Agency's long-haul pilot program to test and demonstrate the ability of Mexico-domiciled motor carriers to operate safely in the United States beyond the municipalities along the United States-Mexico international border or the commercial zones of such municipalities. This motor carrier did not successfully complete the PASA.

The Coast Guard proposes to establish a safety zone on the navigable waters of the James River in the vicinity of the James River Reserve Fleet and Hog Island, Virginia for multiple periods of one hour in length each on all weekdays from August 6 until August 15, 2014. This safety zone is intended to restrict vessel movement in the specified area during the United States Navy's demonstrations involving unmanned and remote-operated crafts. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life and property on the surrounding navigable waters during the events due to the high speed maneuvering of the vessels and the experimental nature of the control technology.

The Coast Guard is temporarily changing the enforcement date of a safety zone for one recurring fireworks display in the Fifth Coast Guard District. This regulation applies to only one recurring fireworks event held in the waters of Metedeconk River in Brick Township, NJ. Instead of the usual enforcement periodsJuly 4, every Thursday in August, and the first Thursday in Septemberin 2014 enforcement will take place on July 3, July 17, and August 14. The safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during the event. This action is intended to restrict vessel traffic in a portion of Metedeconk River near Brick Township, NJ, during the event.

NMFS implements accountability measures (AMs) for the commercial sector for the lesser amberjack, almaco jack, and banded rudderfish complex in the South Atlantic for the 2014 fishing year through this temporary rule. Commercial landings for the lesser amberjack, almaco jack, and banded rudderfish complex, as estimated by the Science and Research Director (SRD), are projected to reach their combined commercial annual catch limit (ACL) on July 15, 2014. Therefore, NMFS closes the commercial sector for this complex on July 15, 2014, through the remainder of the fishing year in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the South Atlantic. This closure is necessary to protect the lesser amberjack, almaco jack, and banded rudderfish resources.

Proposed Collection: Assessment of Oncology Nursing Education and Training in Low and Middle Income Countries, 0925-NEW, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request for OMB to approve the Assessment of Oncology Nursing Education and Training in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). NCI-Designated Cancer Centers have a range of international activities, some of which are funded by NCI, but many of which are not. These international activities may include oncology nursing education and training in LMICs, but the extent of these activities across cancer centers is unknown. The proposed assessment requests information about oncology nursing education and training projects including: Descriptions of projects, partner organizations, types of activities, cost, and impact. NCI's Center for Global Health (CGH) is in the process of developing its strategic plan for oncology nursing education in LMICs. This information will help inform this strategic planning process and provide evidence to inform decisions on potential investments in grants for oncology nursing education in LMICs. Additionally, this information will be used in an online, interactive map that is being developed by CGH which will allow external organizations, such as cancer centers, to explore what projects are being done in which countries, which will facilitate collaborations and minimize duplication. The frequency of the data collection will be once per year although respondents may have more than one response if they have up to three projects. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 51.
